AC/DC shook Melbourne to its core as their Power Up tour caused the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) to tremble - the vibrations were felt far beyond the stadium. The legendary rockers delivered such an electrifying opening show that they were even registered on seismic monitoring devices several kilometers away. According to the Seismology Research Centre, vibrations in the range of 2 to 5 Hertz were measured in their office in the Richmond district - about three kilometers from the MCG. Chief scientist Adam Pascale explained that both the booming speakers and tens of thousands of jumping fans contributed to the seismic activity. Residents up to ten kilometers away reported that they not only heard the concert but also felt it. While AC/DC's show rocked hard, the biggest tremors still trace back to Taylor Swift's record-breaking concert series at the same venue. The sheer scale of the production - 300 tons of steel, 28 tons of speakers, and 500 kilowatts of power per night - showed that the band leaves nothing to chance. Angus Young, Brian Johnson, and their band played "Back In Black," "Thunderstruck," and other classics with electrifying precision.
